Jeanie Buss, a Los Angeles VP and daughter of the Lakers owner, predicted yesterday the organization will heal their wounds and ultimately make amends with Kobe Bryant.

Buss told The Post nobody thought Phil Jackson would ever come back to coach the Lakers either after his Bryant feud and vicious book that took mean-spirited shots at the club.

“I am still of the belief Kobe should not be traded,” said Jeanie Buss, who also is Jackson’s girlfriend. “I don’t have input in basketball decisions but I see a way of things being worked out and keeping Kobe.

“When Phil left, nobody thought he would return to coach them again but I did,” Buss added. “It’s never too late to go back.”

The waters continued to rage by the Pacific with the revelation of a profane Bryant interview in which he rips Mitch Kupchak and center Andrew Bynum in a deli parking lot. Bryant profanely criticized Kupchak for not pulling the trigger on the Jason Kidd trade because he didn’t want to add Bynum to the package.

According to Lakers spokesman John Black, the Lakers have been aware of the video for a few weeks. Black said the videomakers, who may not have known Bryant, approached the Lakers to try to sell the 24-second tape to keep it out of the media’s hands. The videomakers are threatening to release the video this week. It may have been filmed in May.

“It was sort of like blackmail,” one Lakers source said.

Bryant is caught on the tape, saying “Are you kidding me,” when referring to passing up Kidd. Bryant added curse words and said the team should “ship out” Bynum. Bryant called the front office “a mess.”

Black said the video will have no bearing on the Lakers’ stance that they will not succumb to Bryant’s wishes. Jackson said in an e-mail to the L.A. Times that it’s his “unshakeable feeling” Bryant will be at training camp.

But it’s clear the Lakers will have to pull off another trade to make Bryant happy, possibly reignite Kidd talks with the Nets, who may no longer be interested with the East so wide open.

Bryant has a short wish list, and the Knicks, Bulls, Suns and Magic appear among the teams on it. Bryant has a no-trade clause and can steer the deal his direction.

Thomas has said he would not include Eddy Curry in any Bryant offer. One dilemma for the Knicks is Thomas wants to pursue free agent Rashard Lewis on July 1 in a sign-and-trade but also wants to save his assets for the Bryant sweepstakes. Jerry Buss reportedly told Bryant during their Friday meeting in Spain that trading him is a long-term process.
